2 Prevalence of Alcohol Abuse and Dependence $1,253 (1%) Costs of Alcohol Abuse Total Cost: $184.6 Billion $10,085 (5%) $24,093 (13%) $7,466 (4%) $15,963 (9%) $2,909 (2%) $86,368 (47%) $36,499 (20%) Cost in millions of US dollars. FAS = fetal alcohol syndrome. Specialty Alcohol Services Medical Consequences (except FAS ) Medical Consequences of FAS Lost Future Earnings Due to Premature Deaths Lost Earnings Due to Alcohol-Related Illness Lost Earnings Due to FAS Lost Earnings Due to Crime/Victims Crashes, Fires, Criminal Justice, etc Source: Harwood, H. Report prepared by the Lewin Group for the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism; National Institutes of Health, NIH Publication No Rockville, Md. Available at: Accessed March 1, Societal Costs of Alcohol Abuse Alcohol-related problems cost every man, woman and child in American roughly $683 (in 1998 dollars) each year. The cost of alcohol problems includes: lost productivity health care expenditures to treat alcoholism and other medical consequences alcohol-related motor vehicle crashes alcohol-related crime Sources: McGinnis, J.M., & Foege, W.H., Actual causes of death in the United States, Journal of the American Medical Association 270(18): , Societal Costs of Alcohol Abuse Almost half (45 percent) of the cost of alcohol problems is borne by problem drinkers and their households. Society also pays for the negative effects of alcohol use: federal government pays 20 percent state and local governments pay 18 percent private insurers pay 10 percent the victims of alcohol-related crime and the non-drinking victims of motor vehicle crashes pay 6 percent. Sources: McGinnis, J.M., & Foege, W.H., Actual causes of death in the United States, Journal of the American Medical Association 270(18): , 1993.
3 Societal Costs of Alcohol Abuse About three out of every 10 Americans will be involved in an alcohol-related traffic crash during their lifetime. 40% of people killed in alcohol-related traffic crashes were people other than the drinking driver. Binge drinkers are 30 times more likely to drive while impaired than those who do not binge. 75% of drivers convicted of driving while impaired are either problem drinkers or people with alcoholism Sources: McGinnis, J.M., & Foege, W.H., Actual causes of death in the United States, Journal of the American Medical Association 270(18): , Societal Costs of Alcohol Abuse The majority of 8th and 10th graders report it is easier to buy alcohol than cigarettes in their communities. Adults who purchase alcohol for minors and businesses that sell alcohol to minors are rarely prosecuted for violations of minimum drinking age laws. Sources: McGinnis, J.M., & Foege, W.H., Actual causes of death in the United States, Journal of the American Medical Association 270(18): , Societal Costs of Alcohol Abuse For every 1,000 minors arrested for alcohol possession, criminal penalties are faced by only 130 of the businesses and only 88 of the adults. Violence occurs more often in neighborhoods where alcohol is widely available than in those where it is not. 25% of all children are raised in families of alcoholic at least one parent Sources: McGinnis, J.M., & Foege, W.H., Actual causes of death in the United States, Journal of the American Medical Association 270(18): , Lifetime Probability of Treatment/Help Seeking for Drug Abuse/Dependence Cumulative Lifetime Probability of Treatment Contact Abuse Dependence Years Since Onset of Drug Use Disorder

15 Pharmacotherapy: Who Needs It? NIAAA Clinician Guidelines All approved drugs have been shown to be effective adjuncts to the treatment of alcohol dependence. Thus, consider adding medication whenever you are treating someone with active alcohol dependence or someone who has stopped drinking in the past few months but is experiencing problems such as craving or slips. NIAAA NIH Government Publications. Helping Patients Who Drink Too Much: A Clinician s Guide Edition. Available at Accessed September 7, Clinical Guidelines Pharmacologic Treatments should always include psychosocial treatments in addition to medication Alcoholics Anonymous Counseling and/or therapy Outpatient Treatment Inpatient or Residential Treatment Medication Adherence Patients who adhere to their medication regimen do better in terms of: Continuous abstinence Reduced drinking and heavy drinking days Risk of relapse Compliance with psychosocial treatment modalities
